The Western Carolinian 13 Thursday, October 2, 1986 "I Felt I Could Give the Students the Best Service as President/' -Cliff Clark, SGA PRESIDENT by Mike Doerner People Writer For this week's installment ir. our ongoing series of interviews With Student Government Association members, I went straight to the top and spoke with Cliff Clark , President of the SGA. Ctarkt is a senior, majoring in English, and has been involved in the SGA since his sophomore year. When asked what inspired him to run for an executive position, Clarke said that he felt he could get more done if he was in a position to do so. "I felt I could give the students the best service as President," he added. There was an incident two years ago that promoted a lot of anti-SGA sentiment on compus, Clarke said. That incident was the SGA's impeachment of the Editor of the Western Carolinian, Heather Frey. "I wanted to be sure that something like that would never happen again," Clarke commented. He added that "No media should be controlled by any government." This was said in light of the fact that the campus radio station is still controled by the SGA. "I think the SGA had grown too big for its britches," Clarke stated. These and other events were the catalyst in his decision to run for the executive position he now holds. He said that he is trying to change the SGA's image. There are two major pieces of legislation he is currently trying to get passed. They deal with the problems of the school's yearbook, only 600 are printed each year, and the Student Judiciary, the student court, which is inctive at the present time. Clarke feels that for a small addition of $3.00 a semester to student fees, all students could get a yearbook. At present only 10% of the students can get a yearbook! He wants to see a reactivation of the Student Judiciary. This court is set up to hear all student infractions before they are presented to the school's administration. Some of these infractions include visitation violations, cheating, stealing, amoung dozens of others. Clarke feels that this needs to be a part of student life at WCU. He would also like to see the $2.00 charge for forgeting a meal ticket dropped. "The meals are already payed for," he contended. In addition the SGA will be contributing $1,000 per year in scholarship monies to the Honors Program and recognition of academic excellence at Western. He concluded by saying that if anyone ever has any questions, they should call the SGA at 227- 7299, or come by the SGA complex on the second floor of the Hind's University Center. And , of course, there is the student handbook from the SGA that can provide more information on anything concerning campus life. The free bood contains all the rules, dates, events, etc. Clarke strongly recommends that each student grab a hold of a copy from the SGA offices. Be Wary ot Stinging Insects What's bugging you this Fall? Among other possibilities, it could be the renewed onslaught of that all too familiar group of stinging insects know as Bees, Wasps, Hornets, and Yellow Jackets. It seems that Fall brings about increased activity and aggressiveness in the litle chaps. Anyone who has ever had the misfortune of being bitten by one of these innocuous looking insects, knows the pain that can ensue. But did you know that their stings account for the greatest mortality rate of any venomous animal in the U.S.? Only 25% of allergic patients know they are hypersensitive, and the severity of a reaction usually increases with repeated exposure. The more rapid the onset of a reaction, the more severe it tends to be. Stings about the head and neck in a hypersensitive person will be more life threatening because of the swelling around the airway. Watch carefully for symptoms of a generalized allergic reaction - i.e.; swelling, shortness of breath, and asthma. Here at the Infirmary, we see mild local reactions to stings most of the time. These include some swelling, local redness, itching and pain, and even generalized discomfort and nausea. The common honey bee accounts for more stings than any other species and will often leave its stinger and venom sac in the skin at the site of the sting. The honey bee stinger must be carefully removed with tweezers because it is improtant not to squeeze the venom sac. For all insect stings, apply ice to help reduce swelling and discomfort. Calamine lotion, benzocaine, a paste of water and Meat Tenderizer, or Baking Soda may also help reduce pain. Over-the- counter antihistamines reduce itching and hives. However, if a person begins experiencing tightness in the chest or difficulty in swallowing or breathing, then epinephrine injected subcutanesly is the immediate necs Prevention is the key in dealing with these pesky insects. Bees are often found near flowering plants, food, and water. Hornets, Wasps, and Yellow Jackets build nests in trees and under house eaves. They also build underground nests. Avoid these habitats whenever possible. Other methods of prevention include wearing light colored clothing and avoiding shiny jewelry, perfumes, and highly scented lotions. Wearing shoes is recommended. Do not shoo insects away you'll only agitate them. If you have a sting and any kind of reaction which concern you, call the Infirmary at 227-7430 ro 227-7431. We are open 24 hours a day, emergencies only after 10:00 p.m. I i Build the confidence tot comes from thorough, effective preparation.

Those of you who have attended time management presentations or have read self- help books on the subject may have become dismayed af the demands for fastidiousness, attention to detail, and rigorious record-keeping. Self-discipline is most certainly required education for any college degree program. Any time management schedule is by necessity demanding. However, my intent is to avoid making the management of time more taxing than the tasks and goals you hope to complete. Begin by making a blank weekly schedule that is divided into one hour blocks, In ink, fill in all required school activities, such as classes, discussion, and laboratory periods. Then, add other regular activities, such as part-time jobs, commuting time, sports, regular meetings, and housekeeping chores. These aspects of the schedule are fixed times that will vary little over the course of the semester. The remaining parts of the schedule should be filled in with pencil to allowfor unexpected changes. Now schedule your meals, as well as washing and dressing. Incidentally, breakfast should not be missed since it provides energy for the day's work and diminishes those sinking drained feelings that may accompany mid-afternoon. Try to schedule at leastanone-h our break for breakfastand lunch and a two hour break for dinner. Use this time for eating and other forms of enjoyment. At this point take a separate sheet of paper and list your current courses from hardest to easiest. Then, list what assignments are due this week for each course and estimate the number of hours needed to complete each assignment. Generally, undergraduate courses require a minimum of two hours studying for each hour in class. Before you log in specific times for studying examine the following guidelines: 1. First, determine which hours of the day you study most efficiently. Then, schedule study time for your hardest classes during those hours you are most alert, and schedule study time for easier classes during your sluggish periods. For example, if you study best in the morning, study for your hardest classes before noon, while studying for your easiest classes after dinner. 2. If you have a discussion or recitation class, schedule an hour period before class enabling you to participate more effectively. 3. Studying over one hour in a particular course is usually not any more advisable than eating one kind of food for too long a period. Exceptions would include writing a paper, working on difficult math problems, or involvement in problem solving tasks. 4. After studying thirty minutes, reward yourselfwith a 2-5 minute break. After 2-3 hours, a 30 minute break is needed. 5. Review time should be scheduled at the end of each week. Reviewing material of the preceding week plus periodic review sessions helps combat forgetting by keeping the materials fresh in your mind. Ideally, schedule a six-day week to allow yourself a "Free" day to do whatever you want. Consequently you will experience the pleasant feeling of enjoying things you find relaxing and a comfortable amount of time pressure. Scheduling will help you receive greater enjoyment from recreation. It can eliminate that frustrating feeling of wondering what it would be like to be playing while you're studing; or feeling of guilt that emerge from playing during times you believe you should study. Lack of planning can lead to unsatisfying play and study time. If you are going to study, make a firm commitment and give it your full attention. When playing, allow yourself to fully participate without feelings of guilt. Finally, make a plan you can live with. In weight control, nutritionists often recommend planning healthful, enjoyable, balanced meals, rather than stringent, unpleasant diets. The idea is a life plan, rather than an odios ritual that you can't wait to abandon. Your schedule must be a plan for living, not merely for studying. College life can be a many- faceted experience. Give yourselftime for the things you really want to do, and time for those with whom you want to share. People often attempt to save time by disconnecting from all unessential activities. Plan for time to take care of yourself, and those you love. Now you are ready to pencil in the hours you plan to use in your studying and preparation of assignments. If this cusory glance at time management has whet your appetite for more information, or if you struggle in implementing these ideas, don't hesitate to contact Diane Hoffbauer, the Director of Special Services, Rm. 8 McKee, 227- 7127. Special Services will be offering workshops and providing information on time management and other study skills throughout the Fall semester. $500,000,000 OF RESEARCH HELPED CLIFF SHAW PLAY BASEBALL AT AGE 85. In November 1973, CliffShaw was stricken with cancer. Fortunately, it was detected early enough. And with surgery Cliff was able to continue living a healthy active life. There was a time when such a diagnosis was virtually hopeless. But today cancer is being beaten. Over the years, we've spent $500,000,000 in research. And we've made'great strides against many forms of cancer. With early detection and treatment, the survival rate for colon and rectal cancer can be as high as 75%. Hodgkin's disease, as high as 74%. Breast cancer, as high as 90%. Today, one out of two people who get cancer gets well. It's a whole new ball game. y AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY % Help us keep winnin ' CULLOWHEE - There will be a partial eclipse of the sun Friday afternoon, Oct 3. But according to Western Carolina University astronomy expert Elizabeth James, students should not look directly at the sun and should not expect the eclipse to be spectacular. For those interested in seeing the eclipse, the scienceeducation department will have viewing devices on the front lawn of Hinds University Center, weather permitting, between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. The maximum eclipse will be at 3 p.m., but even then the moon will cover less than 50 percent of the sun.
